Saturday weigh-in!
Hooray! Well, this week I did a much better job of sticking to my guns, as it were. My goal for the week was to not lose control, which I managed to do - I'm not saying I was perfect, but I did a good job of being moderate. For example, there were free cupcakes in the lounge all week, and I only ate two, on two different days. I ate at restaurants for lunch on Thursday and yesterday, and did very well there too. Overall, I'm happy. This was a rough week for my various new resolutions: between Hallowe'en and "the monthlies" (heh) I don't really think I could have done better. That awesome mood I was in earlier this week has held out, although I've come down a little... I was in a bar with some of the other graduate students yesterday afternoon and it suddenly hit me that I really didn't want to be around other people (I get this sometimes, where I just get overwhelmed and need to go off and spend some time by myself). So I'm looking forward to being a hermit all weekend.
I weighed myself this morning! 206 pounds! No way! This brings my total weight loss since August 23rd to 42 pounds... and I'm only 3 pounds away from being 50 down from the highest number I ever saw on a scale (which was in August 2006). My new BMI is 33.2. I can't wait to be in the 20s!
I think I deserve a reward. As I expected, I have changed my mind about the shoes. I mean, they're still adorable... but I'm so poor. So very, very poor. Instead, I am going to get myself a copy of the BBC's North and South - I can't remember how many times I've read that novel, and everyone who's seen it says it's a great series and worth buying. I'm also going to take myself to the mall this afternoon and hit up Sephora (during the Michigan/Michigan State game... no crowds!). I'm so excited!
My goal for this week is to continue the good work and keep up my control. I don't want to deny myself everything every day, but I don't want to regret anything either. I'd also like to get back to eating more vegetables. I eat plenty of fruit, but I haven't really been eating enough green things. So I hope to improve on that this weekend too.
